What Countries Are SETTING UP SAFE ZONES With Syria – Will The US Join?

Russia, Turkey, and Iran, have set up four specific safe zones in Syria, signing a UN agreement this week. The UN is describing it as a small step towards Syria stepping down from the brutal war that has been raging.

“The United States however gave an extremely cautious welcome, citing concerns over Iran’s role as a guarantor, even as it expressed hope that the deal could set the stage for a settlement,” reports Yahoo! News.

The idea of these “de-escalation” areas was set discussed on a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. The new deal will allow for aid to travel safely through, as well as a ban on all flights and a ceasefire.
